The show opened with Mikey, Eddie, and Sky discussing the brutal allegations against actor Shelly Malil, then shifted into comic personal stories such as Sean dismantling drapes because of germs and watching Columbo with a stranger. Eddie and Sky argued that full meals do not belong in theaters, while Mikey defended bringing outside food; later, the crew debated whether repeatedly lending family money is generous help or harmful enabling. Boston Rob's Gas Monkey stopped a listener for a $25 gas card, and the hosts also sparred over Bigfoot versus the Loch Ness Monster and Sky's defense of transgender model Isis. They closed out several entertainment arguments by mocking Red Hot Chili Peppers concerts and praising Robert Downey Jr. and Tom Cruise in Tropic Thunder despite controversy over the film's language.

What happened, in order

  1. Shelly Malil stabbing case

    The hosts recounted allegations that actor Shelly Malil repeatedly stabbed his ex-girlfriend, was disarmed twice, and received $10 million bail as a flight risk.

  2. Seanatizing the guest room

    Sean explained that his germ anxiety led him to remove and carefully roll up Mikey's bedroom drapes when he could not vacuum them during the night.

  3. Bird-poop facials

    The crew reacted to a $180 spa facial made with sterilized nightingale droppings, and Sky and Ashley both said they would try it for free.

  4. Dinner at the movies

    Eddie and Sky argued that noisy or fragrant outside meals ruin movies, while Mikey defended patrons who bring food such as burgers, chicken dinners, and sandwiches.

  5. Tough Love with Eddie

    Eddie delivered deliberately harsh comic advice to listeners about Olympic patriotism, weight loss, and teenage friendship drama.

  6. Columbo seatmate

    Sean happily shared his headphone splitter with a stranger on a flight so they could watch the Columbo episode "Now You See Him" together.

  7. Loaning family money

    A caller objected to her husband repeatedly lending their shared money to his 23-year-old brother, especially when he wanted $1,000 to pay DUI-related costs.

  8. Chili Peppers boredom

    Mikey described Red Hot Chili Peppers music as the soundtrack to being trapped at a hot, smoky concert long after he wanted to leave.

  9. Gas Monkey patrol

    Boston Rob roamed Escondido in a monkey costume, stopped a listener's work truck, and had him pull a banana that awarded a $25 gas card.

  10. Bigfoot versus Nessie

    The crew debated whether Bigfoot or the Loch Ness Monster was more plausible, testing hoax photos, eyewitness claims, and reports of a supposed Bigfoot body.

  11. Isis on Top Model

    Sky defended transgender contestant Isis appearing on America's Next Top Model while the others challenged and mocked her argument about who should be allowed to model.

  12. Tropic Thunder debate

    Sky, Eddie, and Ashley praised Robert Downey Jr. and Tom Cruise in Tropic Thunder while arguing that the movie's offensive language was part of its deliberately tasteless satire.
